P bass hum


lancer

Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have a Fender Am Original 60’s P Bass with Pure vintage 63 pickups.

The bass is a couple of years old and stock.

Ive checked it over with a multimeter and it seems to be grounded correctly.

The problem is the noisy humming if the pole pieces are touched, I’ve never had this happen with a p bass before.

Any ideas how to cure this please?

There't a thread on talkbass about this exact issue - due to the pole pieces not being grounded apparently:

The third post down contains a link to another thread that explains how to fix it:
